All totals are estimates based on counts of intact worms and fragments. * indicates combined total between two organs. Column headed ‘notes’ provides details of species present in each organ and an estimate of the total number of adult flukes recovered. Abbreviations: N = numerous, A = aorta, B = brain, BC = body cavity, H = heart, Li = liver, Lu = lung, P = pancreas.
